Truth-in-Savings Account Disclosure
Except as specifically described, the following disclosures apply to all of the above accounts.
(1) Rate Information. The Dividend Rate and Annual Percentage Yield on your accounts as of the last Dividend Declaration Date are set forth above. The Annual Percentage Yield is a percentage rate that reflects the total amount of dividends to be paid on an account based on the dividend rate and frequency of compounding for a 365 day period, or the term of the account. The Dividend Rate and Annual Percentage Yield may change monthly as determined by the Credit Union’s Board of Directors.
(2) Nature of Dividends. Dividends are paid from current income and available earnings after required transfers to reserves at the end of the dividend period.
(3) Compounding and Crediting. Dividends will be compounded and credited as set forth above. The Dividend Period for each account is set forth above. The Dividend Period begins on the first calendar day of each month and ends on the last calendar day of each month.
(4) Accrual of Dividends. Dividends will begin to accrue on cash deposits and non-cash deposits (e.g. checks) on the business day you make the deposit to your account. Except for a Certificate, Flex Account or IRA account, if you close your account before accrued dividends are credited, accrued dividends will not be paid.
(5) Balance Information. The minimum balance required to open each account is set forth above. Dividends and minimum balances are calculated using the Average Daily Balance method. The Average Daily Balance method is determined by adding the full amount of principal in the account for each day of the period and dividing that figure by the number of days in that period.
(6) Account Limitations. Account Limitations for each account
are set forth above. For a Share Savings Account (or Money Market Account, if applicable) in which transfer limitations apply, no more than six (6) preauthorized, automatic, telephone transfers or transfers made by check, draft, or debit card may be made
from these accounts to another of yours or to those of a third party in any month. If you exceed these limitations, your account may be closed.
(7) Maturity. Your account will mature within the term set forth above or the maturity date set forth on your Certificate or Maturity Notice. The Credit Union will give the owner(s) at least 10 days notice prior to maturity.
(8) Complaint Resolution. If you have a dispute with your credit union regarding your account(s), you may contact the credit union and attempt to resolve the problem directly. If your credit union fails to resolve the problem, communicate the problem and the resolution you are seeking to:
Maine Bureau of Financial Institutions, 36 State House Station, Augusta, ME 04333-0036.
